Early in July 2021 I was travelling between Brighton and Lewes and was surprised that the 12 11 from Brighton was shown as terminating at Newhaven Harbour instead of going to Seaford.
I did some research and found that weekdays Southern run a half hourly service between Brighton and Seaford but for some reason break the pattern as the
12 11 and 21 11 departures from Brighton are terminated at Newhaven Harbour
The same train and crew then go back to Brighton from Newhaven Harbour instead of starting from Seaford at 12 53 and 21 53
I have complained to Southern and requested the service be restored to Seaford.
I have recorded times when Lewes connections have been severed and because of the Newhaven terminations those going to Seaford are delayed 1 hour
Southern have failed to act and the timetable alterations from September 2021 still show these terminations
This dispute is on going and I hope to make a submission to the Rail Ombudsman
